Coreboot

It is possible to bring up a limited number of board (currently, only cubieboard) using coreboot with a uboot payload.
Please see coreboot instructions for more details.

Using coreboot for NAND access

coreboot (mrnuke's github branch) operates from MMC. It can load any uboot elf file included as the coreboot payload. This means that besides the regulat sunxi uboot, it can also load the non-SPL part of the lichee uboot.

TADA! NAND access without boot0/boot1. What happens is that coreboot boots from the MMC card, as usual, loads lichee uboot, which can now access the MMC. My NAND partition was previously wiped, hence the warning about "no misc partition is found".
